The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Water Act. The complaint names the City of Great Falls, Montana (the ‘‘City’’) and Malteurop North America, Inc. (‘‘Malteurop’’) as defendants. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties for violations of various provisions of the Clean Water Act arising from the City’s operation of its municipal wastewater and sewer system and from Malteurop’s operation of a malting plant that discharges to the City’s sewer system. The proposed Decree would require the City to implement its Pretreatment Program. The Decree would also require the City to take a number of specific steps to prevent sanitary sewer overflows, including implementing a program for controlling Fats, Oil, and Grease (‘‘FOG’’) and root growth; a program for controlling inflow and infiltration (‘‘I/I’’) (unless the City demonstrates that I/I is not contributing to SSOs or bypass events and that it has the capacity to transport and treat I/I); and a Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance (‘‘CMOM’’) program. Finally, the Decree would require the City to pay a $120,000 civil penalty, to be split equally between the United States and the State of Montana. The proposed Decree would require Malteurop to meet limits based on OSHA standards for hydrogen sulfide at a specific location in the City’s sewer. Malteurop may meet these limits by constructing a private service line to bypass a portion of the sewer where conditions exist that allow Malteurop’s discharges to result in the formation of hydrogen sulfide. In the interim, Malteurop will continue to operate an existing Super Oxygenation System, which minimizes hydrogen sulfide formation by injecting dissolved oxygen into a portion of the wastewater discharged by Malteurop. The proposed Decree would also require Malteruop to pay a $525,000 civil penalty to the United States. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean 
Water Act

    On March 5, 2014, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Montana in the lawsuit entitled United States and the State of 
Montana v. the City of Great Falls, Montana and Malteurop North 
America, Inc., Civil Action No. 4:14-cv-00016-BMM.
    The United States filed this lawsuit under the Clean Water Act. The 
complaint names the City of Great Falls, Montana (the ``City'') and 
Malteurop North America, Inc. (``Malteurop'') as defendants. The 
complaint seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties for violations of 
various provisions of the Clean Water Act arising from the City's 
operation of its municipal wastewater and sewer system and from 
Malteurop's operation of a malting plant that discharges to the City's 
sewer system.
    The proposed Decree would require the City to implement its 
Pretreatment Program. The Decree would also require the City to take a 
number of specific steps to prevent sanitary sewer overflows, including 
implementing a program for controlling Fats, Oil, and Grease (``FOG'') 
and root growth; a program for controlling inflow and infiltration 
(``I/I'') (unless the City demonstrates that I/I is not contributing to 
SSOs or bypass events and that it has the capacity to transport and 
treat I/I); and a Capacity, Management, Operations, and Maintenance 
(``CMOM'') program. Finally, the Decree would require the City to pay a 
$120,000 civil penalty, to be split equally between the United States 
and the State of Montana.
    The proposed Decree would require Malteurop to meet limits based on 
OSHA standards for hydrogen sulfide at a specific location in the 
City's sewer. Malteurop may meet these limits by constructing a private 
service line to bypass a portion of the sewer where conditions exist 
that allow Malteurop's discharges to result in the formation of 
hydrogen sulfide. In the interim, Malteurop will continue to operate an 
existing Super Oxygenation System, which minimizes hydrogen sulfide 
formation by injecting dissolved oxygen into a portion of the 
wastewater discharged by Malteurop. The proposed Decree would also 
require Malteruop to pay a $525,000 civil penalty to the United States.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States, et al. v. the City of Great Falls, MT, 
et al., D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-08955. All comments must be submitted no 
later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this notice.
